What was it....?
 

Flew out of Munich airport the other day, and having perused the luurrvely cuuurrvy canard Piaggi-thingy on the biz-jets apron, then taxied past some hangers (lufthansa), outside one of which was an aeroplane I cannot identify.

Twin engined, high wing piston type, with the engines on stubs down by the wheels. Green/camoflaged in colour, but not military as it had a civvy D-xxxx reg. General apperance was like a Dragon Rapide, but without the lower wings outboard of the engines.....

.....any ideas?

Also......Just after climb-out, turned right directly over what appears to be a disused military airfield before heading off on a climbing high downwind past the airport again, any ideas as to what the airfield is aswell? Ive seen it a couple of times when on final approach to Munich too. Sorry didnt catch the runway....

Thanks in advance,

Regards, SD..

DO-28?

THat's what my guess would have been......mad little plane!

Started flying the twin-turboprop version and that was mental!

Yep, That's it!!

After looking at similar photos on Airliners.net, In fact I believe that THIS is the actual one I saw, and in almost exactly the same spot?

Thanks for the quick response, guys. It had been bugging me I couldnt figure out what it was.

Any ideas on the airfield? My jepp FBS chart doesnt go as far east as Munich....

Regards, SD.

The airfield you could see after a right turn out is Erding, ETSE. I dont think thats its a disused airfield though.
